Two key victories at home powered Murray into a share of the Region Six lead as the Spartans beat up on two of the teams that have ruled the roost in recent years. Judge was the first victim, falling to a Spartan club on Friday night, and then Murray was able to do what some felt might not be done in Region Six this season 70-6- - beat South. The Spartans needed an overtime period after South standout Darrell White poured 19 points through the nets in the fourth period, including four in the final 12 seconds. But in the overtime, Murray -- countered with Danny Devenport who swished seven points to propel the Spartans to a 8 victory. 63-5- Judge, in the meantime, lost more ground in the league race when the young Bulldogs were stunned on their home floor by West Murray will travel to Tooele tomorrow (Friday) to open the second half of league play - a contest that has Coach Craig Hammer concerned, coming on the heels of the two monumental wins this week.

His strategy had been to let White have his points, but make certain that no one else beat his club. White had 13 at that juncture. When the contest ended, his numbers were 36, points, a bundle of rebounds and a host of steals - including one with seven seconds left that forced the overtime period. He also had a fan in Hammer, who has seen some pretty fair basketball Hes got to be the best players. player in this state and maybe the the Murray surrounding ones, mentor reported. 40-3- West 70, Judge 61 Rick Solvason continued to lead the Bulldogs offensively and Judges inside game continued to struggle. Righting that will be a must against South Friday if Judge is to avoid falling out of the tournament picture comfort zone. The Bulldogs were further hurt by the illness of Grant Jensen, who has been their most steady performer. The Panthers jumped off to an early lead and simply wouldnt wilt under the pressure the 1 Bulldogs put on them. It was after one period and 8 at the half and West stayed in front, leading 7 going into the final eight minutes. Four Panthers scored in double figures, while the Bulldogs had three. Solvason led all scorers with 20 (6, 8x8). Cameron Kersey added 13 (6, 1x2) and Garrick Peters 11 (4, 3x5). One bright spot for the Bulldogs was the return to action of David Pazell, who had been expected to start before a football injury put him out of action until this game. He responded to the chance to play and may have earned himself considerable playing time in games to come. 17-1- 39-2- 51-3- REGION SIX STANDINGS But in the last three minutes of the contest, it was Devenport who put the important numbers on the board, a basket and five charity tosses that spelled victory.
